Armenians marked Easter at Saint Giragos Church in Diyarbakir, Turkey, on Sunday.

Hundreds gathered for Easter Sunday Mass at the Armenian church, Armenian Weekly reported. Among the attendees were newly-elected Diyarbakir Metropolitan co-mayor Fırat Anli and former mayor of the Diyarbakir Sur Municipality Abdullah Demirbas.

An Armenian girl was baptized after Easter Mass. Her family currently lives in Istanbul but wanted to see Amber Kaz baptized at Saint Giragos church.

The 1,400-seat-capacity Saint Giragos Armenian Church of Diyarbakir was built in 1376 in the city’s Hancepek district, where a large number of Christians lived up until the Armenian Genocide. Ever since the 1980s, however, the church was left to the mercy of fate. Subsequently, a group of Istanbul-based Diyarbakir Armenians established the Saint Giragos Fund to restore the church. The Armenian fund and the Diyarbakir City Hall covered 70 and 30 percent, respectively, of the $2.5 million-worth restoration costs.
